Abstract

In the paper the authors discuss the factors impacting liquidity risk in the banking sector in Poland. The authors argue that the Basel III directive as it relates to liquidity measures is not adequate to keep liquidity in the long term. The lack of long term sources of funding, like covered bonds and mortgage securities, creates a high liquidity risk for banks in Poland. The authors indicate various
legal, economic and technical factors and barriers that need to be removed to create a market for long term securities, ensuring better bank liquidity in Poland. The discussed topic is connected to financing properties and mortgages, which are the majority of assets in bank balance sheets that result in issues with lack of liquidity. The authors’ identification, collection and presentation practical factors and challenges is the new contribution of the paper to the discussed topic. The stated research questions embrace certain postulates regarding the measurement of the relationship between the identification of the reasons for illiquidity and the
effects of implemented regulatory requirements. Another contribution of the paper is the application of conclusions drawn by the authors from theoretical analysis into the adjustments of the anticipated process and potential tools related to the long term sources of funding sources supporting the mitigation of liquidity risk in the banking sector in Poland.
